Anniversary
End of chapter nine: The calm before the storm
When they entered the cell her eyes gave off the only emotion she had; bright with pure hate. After the trail nine months ago she and Parker had come to see the men who had hurt them both. For Parker the trip had become a safety net. He knew where the men were and that he and Bones were safe. For Bones it became way to keep track of the men that wanted to hurt her or her family. This cell was the cell that one of these men was being held in.
"We need to get this body to the lab to be one hundred percent sure. I am not willing to take any chances with this case. Cause of death looks to be a hit to the back of his head." Bones kept looking down at the remains. Right now she wanted answers and she knew standing in this cell she wouldn't get them.
"I want this body in my lab in the next hour!" She demanded of a tech then headed over to Booth.
"Thank you, sir." Booth spoke before once again pocketing his phone. At seeing her join him.
"Let's head out. I need to get things set up at the lab. There can be no mistakes on this case." Silently Booth followed her out of the prison and to his car.
"Bones if you want to…" He started as they headed towards the lab.
"I'm fine. Let's get this case done up and get on with the next one." Booth glanced her way several times on the rest of the trip. He hadn't corrected her phase. Knowing that it would only serve to upset her. The way she held herself anyone could clearly see that she was in no mood for anything.
Booth kept thinking that something was in the air; some kind of change was going to happen. He never once thought that these men; the men that had hurt them almost a year ago could cause them more damage. Yes, when they went before the trial board he knew that it would be hard but, this wasn't anywhere close to that. This was one of the men setting Bones back. It may not be a big setback but, something was eating at her and he needed to find out what it was.
'This is the last time these men will hurt my family!' Booth vowed as he followed her into the lab.
Chapter ten:One body so many questions
Once the team was all at the lab Booth let them in on why they had been called into work so early today. But he did leave out the part that Caroline and his boss were going to be at the lab today
"I understand that we have a case that needs to be solved right now big guy but, what are you keeping form us." Cam asked the question that everyone in the lab had on their minds.
"Alright people I'm here at this God forsaken hour let's get started so I can get back to the bump and grind that you people leave for me to do." Caroline declared in her joyful don't mess with me voice.
"That would be it." Booth said as Caroline joined the team.
"Booth here's the body. When you are done Miss. Caroline, Agent Booth will call me and I will be back to take the body. Until then Dr. Brennan it's all yours." Cullen's loud voice spoke from the door way of the lab.
For the next few hours not many words were spoken as the team sat into work. Hodgins took his samples and went to his lap. Angela started to run the man's face in the data base. As Cam started her autopsy, Bones and Wendell got the platform ready. Caroline had been told she was to stay with the body once it arrived at the lab. She wasn't told who it was or why only she was not to leave its side for ANY reason as long as it was in the lab. The jump suit had been taken off the body and a set of hospital scrubs had taken their place.
"As far as I can tell this man hung himself." Cam told Brennan as she and Caroline gave the all clear for the handing over of the body.
"Thank you. Did you get some of the tissue under his nails?" Wendell asked from his spot looking at them.
"Yes, and it is being ran to see if whoever he was in contact with is in the system." Cam said as she left the platform to check on the results.
"Alright people who want's to tell me why I know this face?" Caroline asked Bones and Booth after Booth had called his boss.
"That would be because this is one of the men that held Dr. Brennan in this lab last year." Cullen answered.
"Sir"
"Thank you Booth we're outside waiting on your call."
"Yes, Sir"
"What happened to him Dr. Brennan?"
"He has some skin under his nails that is not his own. The only thing we know for a fact is that sometime between ten and midnight last night this man put a sheet around his neck and hung himself in his cell."
"Do we know yet who he scraped before he died?" Cullen asked the brain trust.
"We're still working on it." As soon as the words left Cam's mouth the sound of the lab doors opening could be heard.
"Honey are you alright?" Max yelled running to his child's side.
"Dad, I'm fine."
"Max did you need something?" Booth asked as he subconsciously shielded his partner from the others in the room.
"Max, how did you know to come check on Dr. Brennan today?" Caroline asked standing to the right of the group.
"Today makes one year since the scum tried to take her away. Is something else going on?" As Max looked around the room he noticed that the director of the FBI and the lawyer friend of his daughters was there.
"You must be in the middle of a case sorry. I just wanted to make sure you were alright today honey." He said hugging his child before turning to walk out.
"Dad what happened to your arm?" She asked noticing for the first time the new looking bandage on his upper arm.
"I got scraped on something yesterday. The doctor said it should be right as rain in a few days though no stitches or anything."
"You went to a doctor why this is the first time I'm hearing about this?"
"No the young family that stays next door to me the mother is a doctor. She looked at it for me last night."
As Bones and Max were talking Booth was having a talk of his own with Caroline.
"Do you think he helped the guy hang himself? Your doctor here said there was skin under his nails. Do you think that he did it to help keep her safe?"
"No if Max were going to do something like that he would have done it before now. Beside he promised Bones he would stick around and killing someone in jail is not the way to do that and Max knows this." Booth and Caroline spent the next few minutes talking with Cullen about the next steps in handling this never ending case.
A/N: Thank you to everyone who has asked for more to this story. I know it's been a long time since I have updated this story but I am trying to work on it. It is going to take me a little bit of time to get back in the mind set of this story so please forgive a few mistakes here and there.
Did Max do something Max like to keep Bones safe? What does Booth get that helps to place the final nail in this case? How does Parker react to this man's death?
